Two prisoners broke out of prison by tying their bedsheets together, and repelling down a wall. I thought that shit only happened in cartoons.

“Two Polish prisoners broke out of a German jail after tying their bed sheets together to abseil down a 15 meter (50 foot) wall, authorities said on Tuesday.
“The wall is pretty high,” a spokesperson for the prison in the southern city of Nuremberg said. “If you fall, you’re dead.”
The two men aged 30 and 37, who were being held on remand, broke through the ceiling of their shared cell to reach the prison roof, then lowered themselves to freedom on the bedding.
Police caught the older man shortly afterwards, but his younger accomplice remains at large, authorities said.”
So I guess we learned two things: The world’s worst prison is located in Berlin, and you should never let a German babysit your child.
